NEW CLASS: 3D INTERIOR ARCHITECTURAL RENDERING


A NEW CLASS ON INTERIOR ARCHITECTURAL RENDERING...
Our next class session for the 3D Animation Special Effects class just started last week.  Check it out here:

Last week, students in that class voted to do an Interior Architectural Rendering project using 3D Studio Max and the Mental Ray renderer.  We'll use 3D Studio Max to model a room, furniture, interior lighting, and materials.  We use the 3D Studio Max "cloth" feature.  And, we'll practice using Mental Ray "Final Gather" advanced rendering settings for interior lighting. As always, classes are free to anyone with an interest and a laptop that you can bring to class.  You can follow our progress for that class at http://filmfx.blogspot.com/.

THE XNA GAMES CLASS...
Don't worry, the XNA Games Class isn't finished yet.  I've added alot of new features to the game source code this week.  I'll post the project here in a week or two after killing a few of the remaining bugs.
